5. Line Set Installation
Precharged factory line sets, available as optional equipment from Hoshizaki America,
are recommended. For details, see "II.G.5.a) Factory Line Set Installation." Field
fabricated line sets are allowed. For details, see "II.G.5.b) Field Fabricated Line Set
Installation."
NOTICE
• Ensure that there are no traps and no kinks in the line set. The service loop is not
considered an oil trap.
• Do not coil extra line set.
2) Connect the refrigerant lines to the appropriate male fittings on the remote condenser
unit first and then at the icemaker. Make a proper connection as follows:
a. Remove the protective covers from the male fitting and female coupling.
b. Apply Polyol Ester (POE) refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube to the entire male
fitting, including O‑ring, diaphragm, and threads before making the connection.
See Fig. 12. NOTICE! Do not use thread sealant on the fittings. Use POE
refrigerant oil or Parker Super O Lube only. Couplings are one-time use only.
c. Make sure the male fitting and female coupling are properly aligned, then start the
connection by hand to ensure that it is not cross threaded.
d. Place a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, then tighten the
connection with a wrench until it is tight. At this point, the nut has covered most of
the threads on the male fitting. NOTICE! Failure to use a backup wrench may
result in damage to the line set and possible refrigerant leaks.
e. Mark a reference line on the female coupling and the remote condenser unit or
icemaker panel. Using a backup wrench on the back of the female coupling, tighten
the six-sided nut of the female coupling an additional 1/6 turn. See Fig. 13.
NOTICE! Confirm connection is free of leaks.
3) If you lengthened the line set as outlined in "II.G.5.a)(1) Factory Line Set Modification"
and it exceeds 66' (20 m), see "II.G.4. Line Set Size and Refrigerant Charge" for proper
charging of the appliance.
26
(1) Factory Line Set Modification
1) Recover the line set charge through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick
connect couplings and store it in an approved container. Do not discharge the
refrigerant into the atmosphere. Remove the extra line set length or add extra tubing.
When adding extra tubing, insulate the additional copper tubes separately.
2) Use an electronic leak detector or soap bubbles to check for leaks. Add a trace
of refrigerant to the lines through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick
connect couplings (if using an electronic leak detector), and then raise the pressure
using nitrogen gas (140 PSIG). WARNING! Do not use R-404A as a mixture with
pressurized air for leak testing.
3) Evacuate through the Schrader access ports on the Parker quick connect couplings and
charge with R-404A refrigerant vapor to a pressure of 15 to 30 PSIG. Go to step 2 in
"II.G.5.a) Factory Line Set Installation."
